Definitions
- the invention relates to a finger joint. It can be implanted after resection of both a basic finger joint between the hand bones and the knuckles, and a finger joint between the knuckles.
- finger joints are resected if they are rheumatic and cause great pain to the patient.
- a so-called Swanson joint was used in place of the natural joint, which is not a real joint, but rather a silicone placeholder with two elongated anchors that can be inserted into the tubular bones and are connected to a silicone body.
- the flexibility of the silicone offers the patient a certain mobility of the treated finger.
- a connective tissue capsule forms around this ⁇ joint '', which is detrimental to the mobility and durability of the Swanson joint in situ.
- a finger joint which achieves a high degree of accuracy in the simulation of the natural physiological movement of a natural finger joint. It also sets out the prerequisites for a patient as comfortable as possible to be created in order to achieve the highest possible acceptance.
- the finger joint have a first and a second hollow anchoring handle (hollow handle) which can be placed in the finger tube bones or hand tube bones and between which a hinge joint is arranged.
- the said anchoring stems are advantageously formed from an open-meshed grid network, preferably made of metal, through which bone trusses can grow and thus ensure permanent anchoring of the shafts in the bone.
- the first stem is connected to a ball cage of the hinge joint, in which a joint ball provided with a stem is mounted, the stem passing through the ball cage through a slot provided therein and being connected to the second hollow stem.
- the slot in the ball cage is continuously widening from the point at which the stem passes through the ball cage in the extended position of the joint to the point at which the stem passes through the ball cage when the joint is bent.
- the ball joint not only allows the usual flexion movement of a hinge joint from the extended position to the flexion position, but also increases the play with increasing flexion position of the joint, specifically in the plane perpendicular to the flexion plane.
- This corresponds approximately to the sequence of movements of a natural finger joint.
- the importance of the physiological movement sequence which is modeled as closely as possible, lies above all in the fact that the soft parts surrounding the joint, such as connective tissue and tendons after implantation can perform their functions in an environment that is practically unchanged from the natural state. This increases patient comfort and promotes acceptance of the implant.
- connection of the hinge joint to the two hollow stems sitting in the bone is preferably carried out via conical clamping connections, which have long been known in the field of implant technology.
- the ball cage itself is a ball.
- Said slot through which the stem of the joint ball engages, penetrates the wall of the now spherical ball cage on a section of a meridian from one pole to approximately the equator of the ball.
- the design of the ball cage in the form of a ball results in a compact implant which allows tendons, etc. to be guided easily over the ball surface when the finger joint is implanted. This leads to gentle treatment of the soft tissues and tendons of the finger and consequently to a high tolerance of the implant.
- a pole cap of at least the size of the joint ball is provided, which can be screwed to the ball cage in the manner of a cover and completes its spherical outer design .
- the very compact unit can thus be separated from the spherical body by screwing on the pole cap, whereupon the joint ball with the molded stem can be removed.
- a new part made of a joint ball and stem can be inserted into the ball cage and the pole cap closed again.
- the mode of action of the finger joint according to the invention can be increased.
- the natural finger joint there is not only a flexion movement with the aforementioned increase in play.
- a length extension also takes place.
- the handle on the joint ball of the finger joint engages in a sliding sleeve, which can be connected to said second hollow handle, so that the handle is longitudinally displaceable in the sleeve.
- the handle can move displaceably in the sleeve to compensate for the changes in length and thus ensure a compensating movement.
- the sliding sleeve is preferably also made of polyethylene. It can be permanently connected to the second hollow stem by a conventional conical clamp connection.
- the sliding sleeve has a sleeve at its end facing the ball cage, which is in the assembled state of the Hinge on the outside of the ball cage. This at least partially covers the slot through the wall of the ball cage. This can best be achieved, of course, in the event that the ball cage itself is a ball on the outside. Then the sleeve of the sliding sleeve has a partial dome shape and can cover the slot practically completely, so that the inside of the ball cage remains largely free of physiological liquids etc., which could affect the good bearing properties of the joint over a long period of time.
- the centerpiece of the finger joint 1 according to the invention is the ball cage 5 of the hinge joint 4.
- the ball cage 5 is itself spherical and is completed by the pole cap 10 in its spherical shape.
- the thread 16 can be screwed to the pole cap 10 with the internal thread 17 provided in the ball cage 5.
- a clamping cone 15 projects radially from the pole cap 10 and can be connected securely but also releasably by means of a conical clamping connection to a conical clamping sleeve 14 in the first hollow shaft 2.
- the height handle 2 consists of an open-mesh grid through which trabeculae of the cancellous bone surrounding the shaft 2 after the implantation can grow in for permanent fixation of the implant.
- the wall of the ball cage 5 is penetrated by a guide slot 8 in the area from its pole to the area of its equator.
- This guide slot 8 extends continuously from the area around the pole P to the area of the equator of the ball cage 5, as clearly shown in FIG. 1a can be seen.
- the stem 7, which is formed on the joint ball 6 (FIG. 1) in the flexed position of the finger joint is given greater play in the direction of the double arrow in FIG. 1a than is the case when the finger joint is stretched, where the play is practically zero is. This largely corresponds to the physiological sequence of movements of a natural finger joint.
- the joint ball 6 is coated with a polyethylene layer 9, which also covers the lower region of the molded stem 7, to the extent that there is no contact between the (metallic) stem 7 and the (metallic) ball cage 5 in the region of the slot 8 can take place. This effectively prevents metallosis.
- a second hollow shaft 3 is provided, which in the present case is designed exactly like the first hollow shaft 2, that is to say consists of an open-meshed grid network and has a conical clamping sleeve 13.
- a sliding sleeve 11 can be brought into a conical clamping connection with the conical clamping sleeve, which for this purpose has the outer contours of a clamping cone.
- the sliding sleeve 11 is cylindrical, in such a way that the handle 7 is mounted in the sliding sleeve 11 so as to be longitudinally displaceable. This enables a quasi-telescopic movement of the stem in the sliding sleeve 11 even after the implantation of the finger joint in the direction of the double arrow in FIG. 1, whereby length compensation movements can be carried out.
- the sliding sleeve 11 has, at its end facing the spherical cage 5 of the hinge joint 4 here, a sleeve 12 which, in the assembled state of the finger joint (FIG. 2), lies on the outside of the ball cage 5.
- the cuff 12 is to be regarded as part of a spherical cap.
- the cuff 12 serves to at least partially cover the slot 8 through which the stem 7 grips in order to prevent physiological liquids such as blood etc. from penetrating into the interior of the ball cage.
- the cuff 12 can be significantly larger in concrete exemplary embodiments than shown in the drawing figures.
- the exemplary embodiment shown permits a flexion movement of up to 90 °.
- the finger joint according to the invention is not limited to this dimension. By extending the slot, a flexion range of 100 ° is also possible, for example.
- the assembly of the parts from FIG. 1 takes place in a descriptive manner in that the joint ball part with stem 7 is placed in the ball cage 5, after which the stem 7 engages through the slot 8. Thereafter, the pole cap 10 is screwed to the remaining ball cage 5. The sliding sleeve 11 is slipped over the stem 7 until the sleeve 12 bears against the outer wall of the ball cage 5. Then the conical clamping connections between the clamping sleeve 14 in the hollow shaft 2 and the clamping cone 15 on the pole cap 10 on the one hand and between the conical clamping sleeve 13 in the hollow shaft 3 and the conical clamping cone, which is formed on the outside of the sliding sleeve 11, on the other hand.

Abstract
Description
- Die Erfindung betrifft ein Fingergelenk. Es kann implantiert werden nach Resektion sowohl eines Fingergrundgelenks zwischen den Handknochen und den Fingerknöcheln, als auch eines Fingergelenkes zwischen den Fingerknöcheln.
- In den meisten Fällen werden Fingergelenke reseziert, wenn diese rheumatisch sind und dem Patienten große Schmerzen zufügen. Bislang wurde an die Stelle des natürlichen Gelenkes ein sogenanntes Swanson-Gelenk gesetzt, bei dem es sich allerdings nicht um ein echtes Gelenk, sondern vielmehr um einen Silikonplatzhalter handelt mit zwei in die Röhrenknochen einsetzbaren länglichen Ankern, welche mit einem Grundkörper aus Silikon verbunden sind. Die Flexibilität des Silikon bietet dem Patienten eine gewisse Beweglichkeit des behandelten Fingers. Allerdings wurde bei Anwendung des Swanson-Gelenks beobachtet, daß sich um dieses ''Gelenk'' eine Bindegewebskapsel bildet, welche der Beweglichkeit und der Dauerhaftigkeit des Verbleibs des Swanson-Gelenks in situ abträglich ist.
- Vor diesem Hintergrund ist es die Aufgabe der vorliegenden Erfindung, ein Fingergelenk zu schaffen, welches eine hohe Genauigkeit der Nachbildung der natürlichen physiologischen Bewegung eines natürlichen Fingergelenks erreicht. Darüber hinaus sollen die Voraussetzungen für ein für den Patienten möglichst angenehmes Tragen geschaffen werden, um so eine möglichst hohe Akzeptanz zu erzielen.
- Die Aufgabe wird gelöst durch ein Fingergelenk mit den Merkmalen des Anspruchs 1. Weitere vorteilhafte Ausgestaltungen ergeben sich aus den Unteransprüchen.
- Demgemäß wird also zunächst vorgeschlagen, daß das Fingergelenk einen ersten und einen zweiten hohlen, in die Fingerröhrenknochen bzw. Handröhrenknochen setzbaren Verankerungsstiel (Hohlstiel) aufweist, zwischen denen ein Scharniergelenk angeordnet ist. Vorteilhaft sind die besagten Verankerungsstiele gebildet aus einem offenmaschigen Gitternetzwerk, vorzugsweise aus Metall, durch welches hindurch Knochenbälkchen wachsen können und so für eine dauerhafte Verankerung der Schäfte im Knochen sorgen können.
- Der erste Stiel ist mit einem Kugelkäfig des Scharniergelenks verbunden, in welchem eine mit einem Stiel versehene Gelenkkugel gelagert ist, wobei der Stiel den Kugelkäfig durch einen darin vorgesehenen Schlitz durchtritt und mit dem zweiten Hohlstiel in Verbindung steht. Der Schlitz im Kugelkäfig erweitert sich von der Stelle, an der der Stiel den Kugelkäfig in Streckstellung des Gelenks durchtritt, zu der Stelle, an der der Stiel den Kugelkäfig in Beugestellung des Gelenks durchtritt, stetig.
- Demnach erlaubt das Kugelgelenk nicht nur die übliche Beugebewegung eines Scharniergelenks von der Streckstellung zur Beugestellung, sondern erhöht das Spiel mit zunehmender Beugestellung des Gelenks, und zwar in der senkrecht auf der Beugungsebene stehenden Ebene. Dies entspricht annähernd dem Bewegungsablauf eines natürlichen Fingergelenks. Die Bedeutung des möglichst genau nachempfundenen physiologischen Bewegungsablaufes liegt vor allem darin, daß die das Gelenk umgebenden Weichteile, wie Bindegewebe und Sehnen nach der Implantation ihre Funktionen in einem gegenüber dem natürlichen Zustand praktisch unveränderten Umfeld ausüben können. Hierdurch wird der Tragekomfort beim Patienten gesteigert und dadurch die Akzeptanz des Implantates gefördert.
- Die Verbindung des Scharniergelenks mit den beiden hohlen, im Knochen sitzenden Stielen erfolgt vorzugsweise über konische Klemmverbindungen, die seit langem im Bereich der Implantattechnik bekannt sind.
- Gemäß einer bevorzugten Ausführungsform ist der Kugelkäfig selbst eine Kugel. Der besagte Schlitz, durch welchen der Stiel der Gelenkkugel greift, durchsetzt die Wandung des nun kugelförmigen Kugelkäfigs auf einem Abschnitt eines Meridians von einem Pol bis etwa zum Äquator der Kugel. Durch die Ausbildung des Kugelkäfigs in Gestalt einer Kugel ergibt sich ein kompaktes Implantat, welches die problemlose Führung von Sehnen etc. über die Kugeloberfläche im implantierten Zustand des Fingergelenkes ermöglicht. Dies führt zur schonenden Behandlung der Weichteile und Sehnen des Fingers und infolgedessen zu einer hohen Verträglichkeit des Implantates.
- Um eine möglichst hohe Verträglichkeit zu erreichen und beispielsweise Metallose zu verhindern, ist gemäß einer vorteilhaften Weiterbildung vorgesehen, daß die innere Gelenkkugel einstückig mit dem besagten Stiel ausgebildet ist und mit einer Polyethylenbeschichtung versehen ist. Vorzugsweise ist die gesamte Gelenkkugel mit Polyethylen überzogen. Darüber hinaus ist vorteilhaft der besagte Stiel im Ansatzbereich an der Gelenkkugel ebenfalls mit dem Polyethylen beschichtet in dem Bereich, in welchem er die Wandung des Kugelkäfigs durchtritt. Somit wird wirksam ein Metall/Metallkontakt vermieden, wenn das Implantat aus Metall gefertigt ist.
- Falls es trotz aller Sorgfalt doch einmal zu einem Revisionseingriff kommen sollte, damit die Gelenkkugel ausgetauscht werden kann, ist gemäß einer vorteilhaften Weiterbildung eine Polkappe von mindestens der Größe der Gelenkkugel vorgesehen, die nach Art eines Deckels mit dem Kugelkäfig verschraubbar ist und dessen kugelförmige Außengestaltung komplettiert. Die sehr kompakte Einheit läßt sich also durch ein Aufschrauben der Polkappe vom Kugelkörper auftrennen, woraufhin dann die Gelenkkugel mit dem angeformten Stiel entfernt werden kann. In einfacher Weise kann ein neues Teil aus Gelenkkugel und Stiel in den Kugelkäfig eingesetzt werden und die Polkappe wieder verschlossen werden.
- Die Wirkungsweise des erfindungsgemäßen Fingergelenks kann noch erhöht werden. Hierzu sei allerdings vorausgemerkt, daß es auch bei dem natürlichen Fingergelenk nicht nur ausschließlich zu einer Beugebewegung mit der erwähnten Spielvergrößerung kommt. Es findet auch eine Längenstreckung statt. So werden die natürlichen Sehnen bei Beugung des natürlichen Gelenkes mehr unter Zug gesetzt als dies der Fall in der Streckstellung des Fingers ist. Um diese Längenänderungen zu kompensieren ist gemäß einer vorteilhaften Weiterbildung vorgesehen, daß der Stiel an der Gelenkkugel des Fingergelenks in eine Schiebehülse, welche mit dem besagten zweiten Hohlstiel verbindbar ist, quasi teleskopisch greift, derart, daß der Stiel in der Hülse längsverschieblich ist. Hierdurch kann sich der Stiel in der Hülse zur Kompensation der Längenänderungen verschieblich bewegen und so für eine Ausgleichbewegung sorgen.
- Vorzugsweise besteht auch die Schiebehülse aus Polyethylen. Sie kann mit dem zweiten hohlen Stiel durch eine übliche konische Klemmverbindung dauerhaft verbunden sein.
- Vorzugsweise weist die Schiebehülse an ihrem dem Kugelkäfig zugewandten Ende eine Manschette auf, welche sich im zusammengebauten Zustand des Gelenkes an die Außenseite des Kugelkäfigs anlegt. Hierdurch wird eine zumindest teilweise Abdeckung des Schlitzes durch die Wandung des Kugelkäfigs erzielt. Am besten freilich läßt sich dies erzielen in dem Falle, daß auch der Kugelkäfig selbst außen eine Kugel ist. Dann weist die Manschette der Schiebehülse eine Teilkalottenform auf und kann den Schlitz praktisch vollständig bedecken, so daß der Kugelkäfig im Inneren weitgehend frei bleibt von physiologischen Flüssigkeiten etc., die die guten Lagereigenschaften des Gelenkes über längere Zeit in Mitleidenschaft ziehen könnten.
- Die Erfindung wird anhand eines Ausführungsbeispieles gemäß der Zeichnungsfiguren näher erläutert. Hierbei zeigt:
- Fig. 1
- sämtliche Teile des Fingergelenkes im nicht montierten Zustand, wobei in der Fig. 1a eine Ansicht auf den Kugelkäfig in Richtung der Pfeile A in Fig. 1 dargestellt ist, und
- Fig. 2
- eine Schnittansicht durch das montierte Fingergelenk in Beugestellung.
- Nachfolgend bezeichnen die gleichen Bezugszeichen dieselben Teile.
- Kernstück des erfindungsgemäßen Fingergelenks 1 ist der Kugelkäfig 5 des Scharniergelenks 4. Vorliegend ist der Kugelkäfig 5 selbst kugelförmig ausgebildet und wird durch die Polkappe 10 in seiner Kugelform komplettiert. Hierzu kann das Gewinde 16 an der Polkappe 10 mit dem im Kugelkäfig 5 vorgesehene Innengewinde 17 verschraubt werden.
- Radial von der Polkappe 10 steht ein Klemmkonus 15 ab, der mit einer konischen Klemmhülse 14 in dem ersten Hohlstiel 2 sicher, aber auch lösbar mittels einer konischen Klemmverbindung verbindbar ist. Vorliegend besteht der Höhestiel 2 aus einem offenmaschigen Gitternetzwerk, durch welches hindurch Knochenbälkchen der den Schaft 2 nach der Implantation umgebenden Spongiosa einwachsen können zur dauerhaften Fixation des Implantates.
- Die Wandung des Kugelkäfigs 5 wird im Bereich von ihrem Pol bis in den Bereich ihres Äquators durchsetzt von einem Führungsschlitz 8. Dieser Führungsschlitz 8 erweitert sich vom Bereich um den Pol P hin zum Bereich des Äquators des Kugelkäfigs 5 stetig, wie deutlich aus Fig. 1a zu erkennen ist. Hierdurch wird dem Stiel 7, der an die Gelenkkugel 6 angeformt ist (Fig. 1) in der Beugestellung des Fingergelenks ein größeres Spiel in Richtung des Doppelpfeiles in Fig. 1a verliehen als dies der Fall ist bei gestrecktem Fingergelenk, wo das Spiel praktisch gleich null ist. Dies entspricht weitgehend dem physiologischen Bewegungsablauf eines natürlichen Fingergelenkes.
- Vorliegend ist die Gelenkkugel 6 beschichtet mit einer Polyehtylenschicht 9, die auch noch den unteren Bereich des angeformten Stiels 7 mit bedeckt, und zwar so weit, daß kein Kontakt zwischen dem (metallischen) Stiel 7 und dem (metallischen) Kugelkäfig 5 im Bereich des Schlitzes 8 stattfinden kann. Hierdurch wird wirksam einer Metallose vorgebeugt.
- Es ist ein zweiter Hohlstiel 3 vorgesehen, der vorliegend genau so ausgebildet ist, wie der erste Hohlstiel 2, also aus einem offenmaschigen Gitternetzwerk besteht und eine konische Klemmhülse 13 aufweist. Mit der konischen Klemmhülse in eine konische Klemmverbindung bringbar ist eine Schiebehülse 11, die zu diesem Zwecke die Außenkonturen eines Klemmkonus aufweist. Im Inneren ist die Schiebehülse 11 allerdings zylindrisch ausgebildet, derart, daß der Stiel 7 in der Schiebehülse 11 längsverschieblich gelagert ist. Hierdurch wird eine quasi teleskopische Bewegung des Stieles in der Schiebehülse 11 auch nach der Implantation des Fingergelenkes in Richtung des Doppelpfeiles in Fig. 1 ermöglicht, wodurch Längenkompensationsbewegungen ausgeführt werden können.
- Vorliegend weist die Schiebehülse 11 an ihrem dem hier kugelförmig ausgebildeten Kugelkäfig 5 des Scharniergelenks 4 zugewandten Ende eine Manschette 12 auf, die sich im zusammengebauten Zustand des Fingergelenks (Fig. 2) an die Außenseite des Kugelkäfigs 5 legt. Hier ist die Manschette 12 als Teil einer Kugelkalotte anzusehen. Die Manschette 12 dient dazu, den Schlitz 8, durch welchen der Stiel 7 greift, zumindest teilweise abzudecken, um ein Eindringen von physiologischen Flüssigkeiten wie Blut etc. in das Innere des Kugelkäfigs zu vermeiden. Die Manschette 12 kann in konkreten Ausführungsbeispielen wesentlich größer sein als in den Zeichnungsfiguren dargestellt.
- Das dargestellte Ausführungsbeispiel gestattet, wie aus Fig. 2 ersichtlich, eine Beugebewegung von bis zu 90°. Auf dieses Maß ist das erfindungsgemäße Fingergelenk allerdings nicht festgelegt. Durch Verlängerung des Schlitzes ist auch beispielsweise ein Beugebereich von 100° möglich.
- Die Montage der Teile aus Fig. 1 erfolgt in anschaulicher Weise dadurch, daß das Gelenkkugelteil mit Stiel 7 in den Kugelkäfig 5 gesetzt wird, wonach der Stiel 7 durch den Schlitz 8 greift. Hiernach wird die Polkappe 10 mit den übrigen Kugelkäfig 5 verschraubt. Über den Stiel 7 wird die Schiebehülse 11 gestreift, solange bis die Manschette 12 an der Außenwandung des Kugelkäfigs 5 anliegt. Sodann werden die konischen Klemmverbindungen zwischen der Klemmhülse 14 im Hohlstiel 2 und dem Klemmkonus 15 an der Polkappe 10 einerseits und zwischen der konischen Klemmhülse 13 im Hohlstiel 3 und dem konischen Klemmkonus, welcher an der Außenseite der Schiebehülse 11 ausgeformt ist, andererseits hergestellt.
Claims (8)
- Fingergelenk (1) mit einem ersten und einem zweiten hohlen, in die Fingerröhrenknochen setzbaren Verankerungstiel (2, 3), zwischen denen ein Scharniergelenk (4) in Form eines Kugelgelenks angeordnet ist, bei dem der erste Hohlstiel (2) mit einem Kugelkäfig (5) des Scharniergelenks (4) verbunden ist, in welchem eine mit einem Stiel (7) versehene Gelenkkugel (6) gelagert ist, wobei der Stiel (7) den Kugelkäfig (5) durch einen darin vorgesehenen Schlitz (8) hindurchtritt und mit dem zweiten Hohlstiel (3) in Verbindung steht und wobei sich der Schlitz (8) im Kugelkäfig (5) von der Stelle (P), an der der Stiel (7) den Kugelkäfig (5) in Streckstellung des Gelenks (4) durchtritt, zu der Stelle (M), an der der Stiel (7) den Kugelkäfig (5) in Beugestellung des Gelenks durchtritt, stetig aufweitet.
- Fingergelenk nach Anspruch 1, bei dem der Kugelkäfig (5) selbst eine Kugel ist und der Schlitz (8) auf einem Teil eines Meridians von einem Pol (P) bis etwa zum Äquator die Wandung des kugelförmigen Kugelkäfigs (5) durchsetzt.
